New human inborn error of immunity.

We describe the first reported human with a monogenic disorder caused by the disruption of ZBTB7B, which encodes the transcription factor ThPOK.

What if you could chart cells' regulatory programs at unprecedented resolution?
In my work with Jorge Martin-Rufino from the @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, we dissect the genome’s control circuits and find where key genetic variation hides

Transcription factor networks disproportionately enrich for heritability of blood cell phenotypes
Most phenotype-associated genetic variants map to noncoding regulatory regions of the human genome, but their mechanisms remain elusive in most cases. We developed a highly efficient strategy, Perturb...

#WeekendRead! #LiveForever! Ramalingam Butler &co show @ #Science #Immunology that during #inflammaging thrombospondin-1 drives #interferon signatures & reduces detoxification pathways in hematopoietic stem cells causing loss of self-renewal, increased myeloid differentiation & systemic inflammation
Suppression of thrombospondin-1–mediated inflammaging prolongs hematopoietic health span
Deletion of thrombospondin-1 prevents inflammaging and preserves blood stem cell fitness during aging.

Stem cell-like states confer poor outcomes in blood cancer—but what mechanisms drive this and how can they be therapeutically targeted? In our new preprint, we show how a single TF represses one enhancer to maintain a subset of high-risk leukemias: 🧵👇

What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
A new study shows that some of our cells favor genes of one parent or the other and can explain a longstanding mystery of why some people with disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.
